So, the grandparents, Granny and Pop Pop, left late last night after a nice weekend visit. Anya was back to being a bit shy because she’s had a cold and is cutting the 2 year molars, but overall she played with them well, especially with bubbles and coloring with Pop Pop! She loves bubbles and loves to color! She is also able to call Pop Pop and Granny by name now which was very cool for them. We had a good visit and we made Thanksgiving dinner while they were here which was yummy! Travis and I aren’t planning to go back to visit for Christmas this year, so its just going to be us for Thanksgiving and Christmas. That’s okay. We will miss participating in all the Christmas activities, but it will be nice to establish some of our own holiday traditions for Anya as well. We are planning to let her help decorate the tree this year and making cookies and taking her to ride the sleigh up at Mt. Charleston. We are thinking of going to Santa Monica for a couple of days as well just to get out Vegas a bit, I would love to go to Disneyland, but Travis is wanting to wait until Anya’s a little older before taking her to a theme park.
My friend Holly, who I have known all her life because we grew up next to each other in Opelika until we moved to Montgomery when I was 7, is expecting her first baby any day now so I’m excited for her and hope everything goes well for her. I remember being anxious and a little scared of becoming a Mom for the first time, but its a wonderful experience and I know Holly will do well! Good Luck Holly, I wish I could be there to see you guys, but just call me if you need anything!
